I swear if I don't fall asleep soon I'm going to start raging.
I can't sleep. I don't what it is. I feel weird and my head isn't right.

keep having nightmares where I'd open a door and find a dead body. :/.

Why don't you want to take medication to help you sleep?

I actually ended my unhealthy romantic relationship tonight (which is HUGE for me). It was incredibly hard to do though, and I'm feeling miserable because I have nothing emotionally. I am alone and just a shell of a person.

Well done for the bravery of ending something you saw was unhealthy. Its still a loss so its normal that you will grieve. Be kind to yourself and treat yourself. Seriously get out the ice cream and dvd's.

Am feeling grateful I've been able to do DBT 3 times and am now on my 4th round. It's a life saver. This week we are working on adult pleasant activities. That makes me happy! Joy on the other hand is a bit more challenging

I don't want to have to rely on medication. I don't like the crutch.

It's not a crutch it's a tool. I rely on it and I'm grateful for it.

First day at the corporate office a success! Feeling a little more positive about this trip, earlier I started panicking that I have to be here until Friday, but my co-worker and I had a nice dinner. The company bought the meal! Only had to pay for the alcohol lol

Having back surgery today. Feeling very anxious and worried. I'm putting do much faith in the docs. I'm still climbing out of my depressive episode. Hoping I can relax today and not take a xanex for the anxious feelings in having. I need to believe in the docs who will be caring for me. Prayers for my peace of mind. Thx for being here for me! ♡

I hope it goes well for you today.
In the past, I have had several back surgeries and can understand being anxious.

I feel very solid and stable and not volatile, thanks to my meds.
Quite able to focus which I had trouble with before I was medicated.
Thanks for this!
